Tracey Emin, I Know I Know I Know, 2002Last weekend I took a maiden voyage to Blackpool, the spiritual home and probable birth place of the neon industry in this country, for a visit to the Grundy Art Gallery's NEON: The Charged Line exhibition.

Alison Carlier, Vernon Semper Viret, neon and transformers 2016I've just finished and installed this piece of neon for Alison Carlier at Aspex Gallery in Portsmouth. Alison was awarded the Alexandra Reinhardt Memorial Award 2016 and this piece is the culmination of Alison's 10 week residency at the gallery.

Alison did all of the artwork for the lettering by hand to produce this lovely outline with serif type face.

The neon was made in 10mm white and turquoise with 25m/A electrodes and runs off three 25m/A transformers.
